Scheduling an Appointment

If you are requesting an initial appointment, please contact us at 417-836-5116, visit the Magers Health and Wellness Center, Suite 304, or counselingcenter@missouristate.edu.

Our office hours are 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Scheduling an appointment at the Counseling Center at MSU is easy! The first counseling session - called an initial consultation - consists of a 15-30 minute appointment exploring the reasons why a student is seeking services, relevant personal history and the development of a personalized care plan with a clinician.

Scheduled initial consultations for the fall semester will be conducted through Zoom, but we are also offering walk-in consultations each day on a first come first served basis.

To schedule a Zoom tele-mental health session or for additional questions, please contact our office at 417-836-5116 or counselingcenter@missouristate.edu. For walk-in consultations, it is recommended to call us to check availability.

For students who do not have access to a computer or smart phone to utilize Zoom, we are providing telephone counseling and/or face-to-face consultations.
